Ahead of the festival, Kapoor sat down with an international publication for a conversation, where he spoke at length about his Box Office failures. About his debut film as a producer, ‘Jagga Jasoos’, which he co-produced with Anurag Basu and Siddharth Roy Kapur, the actor said, “It’s a film that I produced. It was a passion project.”
He added, “It was directed by Anurag Basu. It was a very heartwarming and sweet idea, but it didn’t do well, which really hurt.”
“That’s the only film in my career that hurt me,” Kapoor noted.
He also touched upon the recent Box Office failure of ‘Shamshera’ and mentioned that it was the ‘hardest’ project to do. “It was a big box office disaster, but the biggest mistake I made on Shamshera was that I stuck on a beard,” Kapoor told the publication.
As the audience laughed at his statement, Kapoor explained, “When you’re shooting in the heat, and you stick on a beard, it’s like your face is melting.”

For the future slate, the new father has director Luv Ranjan’s untitled next project in the pipeline with Shraddha Kapoor, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s (of ‘Kabir Singh’ fame) ‘Animal’ with South starlet Rashmika Mandanna.
